The Problem

A metal processing equipment manufacturer builds bar straighteners and bar turners. The company required custom programming and control panels for their machines. The customer’s programmer needed PLCs, HMIs, and drives. Many projects would start out with fluid specifications that engineers would have to clarify and adjust throughout the project.

The Solution

Premier Automation provides PLCs, HMIs, and drives as needed, while also offering a custom algorithm tailored to each new machine. The metal processing equipment manufacturer’s in-house engineer received PLCs and drives with pre-tested coordination to ensure easy commissioning.

Premier Automation also worked closely with the customer on replacing DC motors with AC motors, backing up the transition with collateral on Premier Automation’s part to demonstrate confidence in the new motors.
